Music play something dreamy for dancing while we're here romancing It's love's holiday And Love will be our guide Close your Eyes When you open them dear I'll be right hear by your side So Close your eyes rest your head on my shoulder and sleep Close your eyes And I will close mine Close your eyes Let's pretend that we're both counting sheep Close your eyes This is divine Music play something dreamy for dancing while were here romancing It's love's holiday And Love will be our guide Close your Eyes When you open them dear I'll be near by your side So won't you close your eyes

Close Your Eyes is among the most beautiful songs in the entire universe. It brings me peace and calm .

At age 80, I come here now once a yr. to hear Al. He is still one of my faves and I sing this song to my wife but I wish I could be like Al!!! Crooner superb.

I love how rich the orchestration is....just pops out at you...and what can you say about Bowlly that hasn't been said ? He is truly the best of the crooners

I think I first heard this song during a power blackout in 1966.  My Dad switched on the battery-operated transistor radio.  If I like a song I have a phonographic memory.  I never forget it.  I feel as if I have always known it.  Beautiful bass or baritone sax honking in the background and of course finish with the crash of the Cymbal.

My grandfather was 2 when he died, Rest in peace, Al, your music will always be in a special place in my heart.

I'd never heard of Al Bowlly until four years ago--I was 60 at the time. I became an instant fan and haven't looked back since. What a treat it was to discover this great performer. It's as if life had been holding on to this special treat for me until I was really ready to appreciate it.

I love it, I do not think I have heard anything that has really connected with me on that romantic level in a long time, I have just read that sadly he died in london during ww2 , I think he would love that he is remember and not forgotten as true love and romance is eternal !

the exotic combination of music and voice, the audio narcotic!

Al was the best crooner of his time. His voice has a magnetic and mysterious, almost hypnotic quality.

I Really prefer Al Bowlly's version to the one of Frank Sinatra. It's way more comforting and calming. And I have the unagreeable feeling that Sinatra is boasting of singing so well (no one can deny he sang divinely well). I get the feeling that All Bowlly sang without bragging about it. It's just beautiful and soft whereas Sinatra's version is more vivid, jumpy... It's nice but it's not as relaxing and soothing. With a song called "close your eyes" I think you're missing a point if you don't make it calm

Close your eyes, rest your head on my shoulder and sleep, close your eyes, and I will close mine, close your eyes, lets pretend that we're both counting sheep, close your eyes, oh this is divine, music play, something dreamy for dancing while we're here romancing, it's loves holiday and love will be our guide, close your eyes, when you open them dear I'll be near by your side so won't you close your eyes

omg

This old strange poignant song gives me comfort. As my recently paralyzed husband lay across the room from me, I listen to this odd lullaby every night imagining his arms around me again and I am lulled to sleep.

I wish this sound would trend again

I'd never heard of Al Bowlly until I created a Pandora station for the 20's and 30's. What a voice! Ray Noble's orchestra is a wonderful accompaniment for his singing.
